Just imagine: you close your eyes, count to three...one, two, three. Open! Incredible, but it's already the year 2039 outside. You look around. What do you see? People around. The same ones or different? Cars. Yes, it seems they have changed. You press your fingerprint to the door, sit inside, enter the required data (although why type if you can just say). "Eva, take me home!"."Route calculated!",- you hear in reply. The seat transforms to fit your figure, enveloping your arms, waist, pelvis. You are securely fixed. Safety - the main thing. And you can finally relax after a hard day. No need to concentrate on the road, because you are not driving the car - just a programmed mechanism, and you are part of it. Traffic jams? There are no traffic jams! You are part of a large, measured system. Not a road, but a big magnetic tape moving the little cars. And what about pedestrians? Now their paths do not cross. They have their own way - through the air. Special enclosed plates, which people step onto, fly over the road highways.
And here you are at home. The scanner reads your own ID code from your face, letting you inside. Of course, it's nice, but still routine.. You want something new, unusual.. You ask Alisa for advice: "Possibility for students 2039". "One second..". So, IEC. What kind of abbreviation is that? We google. Aha, international student exchange, it seems to suit me. We click the mouse - dial tones - a direct line - international exchange center - Elena - hello - tell me, what would you like? "Umm.. Yes, I.. I would like to see the world! Only I'm a student". "I understand," says Elena, "so you need to go through the "Work and travel" program." And here Elena begins to tell: your room transforms, state by state you come to know America. You see the incredible mountains of Alaska, the boundless Atlantic Ocean, valleys, lakes..You are mesmerized. Stop! But those are only pictures. What is it really like there, in distant America? Now a dream lives in your heart: to discover that far edge of the Earth.
An online questionnaire - they became interested in you - an interview via Skype. You prepare, because you will have to demonstrate all your abilities, finding yourself in a realistically simulated work environment. Your room - sometimes the kitchen of a chic restaurant, sometimes the room of an expensive hotel, sometimes the lifeguard booth of a luxurious water park. This situation and the momentary decision. Congratulations! You are invited. But the scariest part is still ahead - obtaining the visa. Just imagine, you will have to undergo a scan-from-head-to-toe detector check. The procedure resembles a real medical examination, albeit cosmic. No applications! You come, stand under the beam - all information about you and your past is read. What a forged set of documents! Nearby a commission of consuls asks the single question: "What is the purpose of your trip?" You surely know the answer. Or not? You begin to doubt, the nervousness has done its work. You squeeze something out of yourself. The decision will be sent to your personal online account on GOSUSLUGI, fitting in any of the gadgets and replacing all printed documents.
Wow, very soon you will set off on an amazing journey! You will never forget it! Did you know that this is really a combination of work and travel? The program works on a rotational principle: you arrive in a state, work for a week, live with a regular American family, and then move to another state, changing position and surroundings (48 weeks - that's 11 months, 48 states and 48 real American families). Yes, yes, it's a year-long program for students who are tired of routine, want to take a pause, recharge and really see the world. Ahead - family life, work, responsibilities, and now you are free and this is your chance!
